Chapter 11 Dragon Blood Ganoderma
Li Xiuyuan and Nie Hengzhou were also stunned when they saw the red snake monster retreat without a fight.
"Are all the beasts acting strangely today?"
"Senior Brother Nie, look, the fire lotus is gone." Xiao Furou shouted.
The people present saw that the fire lotus that had been glittering on the surface of the pond had indeed disappeared. No wonder the red snake monster retreated without a fight.
"Not good!" Nie Hengzhou's heart moved slightly and he said secretly.
"Retreat quickly!" Nie Hengzhou rushed to Xiao Furou, took her hand, and ran away immediately.
Li Xiuyuan put an acceleration talisman on his body, glanced at his guards, and quickly evacuated.
As soon as Gu Liyue grasped the fire lotus stem, she felt a murderous aura approaching. She dodged and entered the space. She looked at the fire lotus core and found nine lotus seeds inside. With an idea, she placed the fire lotus in a jade box to preserve its medicinal properties and kept an eye on the movements in the pond.
As soon as the red snake monster entered the pond, it could no longer sense the aura of the fire lotus. It was going mad. It had painstakingly watched for fifty years, thinking that eating the fire lotus seeds would allow it to advance, but the damned cultivator had taken what it had without any effort. Furious, it stirred the water frantically, trying to force out the person who had taken the fire lotus.
It found that after stirring the pond, it could not detect the breath of fire lotus or the fluctuation of spiritual power. It stuck its snake head out of the water in disappointment and found the scent of fire lotus seeds on the shore. It swam closer and saw three fire lotus seeds there.
It immediately used its tongue to roll the fire lotus seeds into its mouth and sank them into the pond to be refined.
Gu Liyue watched the pond from a distance and noticed the red snake monster had sunk into the pond. It seemed it had accepted her gift. Then she called Xiaoxuan to fly towards the direction where the dragon blood fungus grew.
When I was tired from traveling, I stopped to chat with Xiaoxuan.
"Liyue, why did you leave three fire lotus seeds for the red snake monster?"
"I don't need that much anyway. This is guarded by the human-monster beast, so it's only right to give it some!"
"These natural treasures belong to those who are capable. You don't have to be so kind."
"Actually, I'm worried that it will hunt us down. I can't beat it right now!"
“…”Okay, you have a point.
"I think those people combined couldn't defeat it. Why would they provoke it when they knew they couldn't?"
Gu Liyue walked slowly while munching on the spiritual fruit that Xiaoxuan had found.
"Is this Fire Lotus more important than life?"
Xiaoxuan also expressed his incomprehension.
Gu Liyue recalled the appearance and growth environment of the Dragon Blood Mushroom: "This Dragon Blood Mushroom is said to grow on cliffs. I wonder if it is difficult to collect it?"
I feel discouraged when I think of the red snake monster. If I encounter any other monster on the cliff, I will lose my life!
In the end times, she is good at rock climbing, but it is a different story if there is a monster next to her.
She and Xiaoxuan came to the foot of a mountain, and there was a cliff in front of them. According to Xiaoxuan's information, there was dragon blood ganoderma on this cliff.
But she could only see the lower part of the cliff, which was at least fifty stories high. The upper part was blocked by clouds.
According to the records in the alchemy book: Dragon Blood Ganoderma is similar in shape to Ganoderma lucidum, bright red like blood, and not very big, about the size of an adult's palm. It is occasionally guarded by monsters.
I hope the dragon blood mushroom here doesn’t have a guardian beast, or if the guardian beast can just leave, that would be better.
Gu Liyue's neck was sore from looking around and her eyes were dazzled, but she didn't find any plants with the characteristics of Dragon's Blood Ganoderma.
She looked at Xiaoxuan and said, "Xiaoxuan, why don't you go up and see if you can pick one or two Dragon Blood Ganoderma."
"I can go and take a look. If I pick one, maybe it will be enough. If you are stronger, I can pick more. Let's take a look first and see what happens!"
"Okay! Go up and take a look. If you can't pick it, take a good look at the surroundings and I'll find a way to get up."
Xiaoxuan flew up immediately.
Gu Liyue observed the cliff, trying to find an easy path to climb, and then observed the surrounding environment.
She imagined herself falling from such a height, wondering where she would be least hurt. After watching the video, she came to a conclusion: it would be better not to fall.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiaoxuan flew down and his little voice started to chirp.
"There are quite a lot of them on there, but I can't pick them off. My little mouth can't hold them."
"Well, I'll have to go up there. By the way, are there any monsters?"
"No traces of monsters were found."
"All right!"
Gu Liyue began to climb, following the path she had just chosen, climbing up little by little. Xiaoxuan followed beside her, helping her to show the way.
After climbing about twenty floors, she came across a protruding rock and stopped to rest.
She kept complaining in her heart: "I thought I could come and go like an immortal in the world of cultivation. I didn't expect that I still have to climb up and down honestly. I am so tired."
She gritted her teeth, stood up and continued to climb, but this time she was even slower, constantly worried that she would fall, which would be fatal.
Xiao Xuan found that Gu Liyue's condition was much worse than before, and she was timid.
"Liyue, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you too tired?"
Gu Liyue forced herself not to look down, but only focus on the top, where to start and where to kick.
"I was worried I would fall."
The little baby voice said earnestly: "You have to believe that you can do it, we will be there soon."
"Yes, I believe in the power of belief. I can do it. In order to survive, I will fight!"
Gu Liyue climbed more steadily. Although her speed was not very fast, her determination and stability could be felt.
As they slowly got closer to the clouds, Xiaoxuan said, "Liyue, you're amazing. Once you get into the clouds, you'll be able to see the Dragon Blood Ganoderma."
Gu Liyue also encouraged herself: "I can do it, I will definitely do it. I must get the Dragon Blood Ganoderma. I will definitely be able to gain a foothold in this world of immortal cultivation."
She entered the clouds, Xiaoxuan pointed in the direction of the Dragon Blood Ganoderma, and she slowly crawled towards the Dragon Blood Ganoderma. She only saw a bright red blurry shadow.
The clouds almost obscured everything in sight. Gu Liyue could only rely on Xiaoxuan's instructions, repeatedly confirming the landing points on the cliff, and moving with difficulty.
"Liyue, the dragon blood fungus is above your right hand. You can pick it with just one hand. It's the largest one here."
Gu Liyue adjusted the force on her limbs, freeing her right hand, and was about to touch the Dragon Blood Ganoderma.
She suddenly felt that the stone she was holding in her left hand seemed to be loosening. She no longer cared about the dragon blood fungus and grabbed the stone next to her with her right hand. There was a loud noise and the stone that had just loosened fell down.
She let go of her left hand and then climbed up again. In just a moment, her back was wet with sweat.
She steadied herself, grabbed the dragon blood fungus with her right hand, and put it into the space.
"What happened just now? Liyue. Xiaoxuan was scared to death!"
